iron stomach Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 hello all! i just purchased my first datsun and am looking forward to the new project. ive owned a 240sx with sr20 swap for the past 5 years and was looking for something different to work on. i originally planned on buying a z car and swapping in the sr20 but while searching for one i came across the 620s and fell in love. i began my search and found its really hard to find decent datsuns on the east coast, especially in WV. I found this beut on ebay a couple hours from my home. Its rough but only payed $200 so i figued what the hell. Its a 69 KC, i have high hopes for this project but well see what happens when i get into it. I'm really glad i found this forum, there is a TON of info that will help me alot. Here are a couple pics... the trip home. the frontier pulled the WV hills awesome! mostly surface rust i'm hoping i pulled up the carpet and found this treat! around the cab mounts is rusted so theyll have to be replaced. the interoir is really nasty. (couple pics from the ebay listing) my sr20 that will hopefully be put in after rebuild sometime...hopefully. thanks for lookin! Quote Link to comment

datsunfish Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 If I am not mistaken I believe it says Les Claypool for president.That would be the bassist/singer for Primus.At least it looks that way.Kinda blurry.Do enlighten us. Quote Link to comment
RacnJsn95 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 IMO it's not that bad looking... It actually looks pretty good from the pics you posted... I was expecting a lot worse of an east coast truck! Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Nice project for two bills. Taht will be fast as hell with an sr in it. Is that a Banshee parked next to it? Jason Quote Link to comment
iron stomach Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 yup its deff a 79, my bad, typo. Yea, the previos owner must be a primus fan cause the sticker does say Les Claypool for president. And yello620: yes thats a banshee, well whats left of one. my buddy had it as a hillclimb bike and it took a tumble down the hill last summer so hes parting it out in my garage. Quote Link to comment
